How do I schedule my first appointment?
Give our office a call or send us a message! Our office manager will help you find a time reserved specifically for new patients and walk you through the next steps.
Your First Visit. The Beginning of Something Good.
New to Vitality? We're So Glad You're Here.
Walking into a new chiropractic office can come with a few questions. What should I expect? What will my appointment look like? Can I bring my kids? And, perhaps most importantly, will anyone judge me if my toddler is having a full-blown meltdown?
(That last one's an easy no.)
At Vitality, we want your first visit to feel comfortable, welcoming, and personal. Whether you're coming in for yourself, your newborn, or your whole family, we're excited to get to know you.
It Starts With a Phone Call.
We schedule all new patient appointments over the phone, and there's a good reason for that.
Our office manager personally helps you find an appointment time so we can reserve the time we've set aside specifically for new patients.
It's also a chance for us to answer your questions, learn a little about who will be visiting, and make sure you know what to expect before you arrive.
Once your appointment is scheduled, we'll send you your new patient paperwork to complete ahead of time. This gives us a chance to review your health history and make the most of our time together.
When you arrive, our team will be ready to welcome you.
And yes, your children are welcome. We are a family chiropractic office, after all!
First, We Get to Know You.
Your first appointment starts with a conversation.
We want to hear what brought you in, what you've been experiencing, and what you're hoping to get out of chiropractic care.
Maybe you're dealing with a specific concern. Maybe you're pregnant and looking for a chiropractor who understands prenatal care. Or maybe you've decided it's time to make wellness a regular part of your family's routine.
Whatever your reason, we'll take the time to understand your history, answer your questions, and discuss your goals.
Your Examination
Next, we'll perform an examination tailored to your age, health history, and reason for visiting.
Depending on your needs, this may include evaluating posture, spinal and joint mobility, movement patterns, neurological function, and other relevant findings.
For our youngest patients, the process looks quite different. Infant and pediatric assessments are adapted to their stage of development, and we use gentle, age-appropriate examination techniques.
We also understand that some children need a little extra time to get comfortable. There's no expectation that every child will walk in ready to cooperate with a stranger.
We'll meet them where they are.
Yes, You'll Get Adjusted on Your First Visit!
We believe your first visit should be more than a conversation and an examination.
After reviewing your history and examination findings, we'll explain what we've found and talk through our recommendations. If we both agree that you're a good candidate for chiropractic care, we'll get started with your first adjustment that day.
The techniques we use depend on your individual needs, preferences, and examination findings. Caring for a newborn looks very different from adjusting a teenager, a pregnant mom, or a grandparent.
We'll explain what we're doing, answer your questions, and make sure you're comfortable with your care.
What Happens After Your First Visit?
Before you leave, we'll talk about what comes next.
For some patients, that means addressing a particular concern. For others, it's establishing a regular wellness routine for themselves or their family.
We'll discuss recommendations based on your findings and goals, along with available care and payment options.
Our hope is that you leave feeling informed, encouraged, and excited to be part of the Vitality family.
A Few Things You Might Be Wondering
Do you take insurance?
We are out of network with all insurance plans, but will gladly provide you with documentation to submit for reimbursement to your insurance. We accept HSA cards and health sharing plans.
Can I bring my kids?
Absolutely! Children are part of everyday life at Vitality. Whether they're here for their own appointments or tagging along with Mom or Dad, they're welcome.
Do I need to be in pain to see a chiropractor?
Not at all. Many of our families choose chiropractic care as part of their regular wellness routine, even when they aren't experiencing a specific complaint.
What should I wear?
Whatever you're comfortable in! Clothing that allows you to move easily is always a good choice.
Can my whole family schedule appointments?
Yes! We love caring for families together. Our team can help you coordinate appointments and explain family care options.
We Can't Wait to Meet You.
From the first hello to your first adjustment, we want you to feel like you've found a place where your family belongs.
Come as you are. Bring your questions. Bring your kids.
We'll take it from there.
